Arx is a game set in a low to mid-fantasy world, where magic is more legend and superstition than daily reality.

Tribes of unaligned Abandoned (or shav'arvani) roam and raid the great forests and wildlands between the settled cities, and beyond the borders of the known lands even greater mysteries lie. RP focused.
